Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problem. To what extent do you agree or disagree? What other measures do you think might be effective?

It is thought that issues like increasing vehicle congestion and pollution could be solved by hiking the rate of fuels. I disagree with

this

statement as it has only minimal effect on the mentioned problem and a more focused approach has to be done to rectify

this

situation.

Firstly

, I think when petrol or diesel cost increases, it would only reflect on lower-class people.

In other words

,

high socioeconomic group

a high socioeconomic group

would not get affected, so, they would probably continue using their vehicles.

As a result

, the aim to reduce traffic jams or even air contamination could not be brought down.

Secondly

, when fuel prices

goes

up, the commuters will suffer

the expense of travelling in cabs or other common transport facilities would be naturally increased.

For instance

, the bus ticket value is not the same now when we compare with 5 years data. A £5 ticket is now £8.5 due to high cost of petroleum in recent times. To solve

this

issue, the Government has to adapt a varying approach,

such

as replacing or encouraging people to

use

solar-driven motors or engines

instead

of usual motors. One of the advantages of

public transport facilities for their daily activities. When commuters

government operated modes, there will be a large reduction in the number of cars or bikes, ultimately

this

will reduce the carbon dioxide emission.

Finally

, to achieve

, the ticket fee has to be moderated, it should be at a reasonable price, so the public

instead

a more possible strategy has to be followed.
